depmod problem in debian-installer build

I cannot build the debian-installer on a 2.5 system because depmod
fails. The reason is that unless depmod is given a symbols file
(System.map) it tries to get symbol information from the kernel.

I notice that the i386 kernel udeb includes modules.dep. Would it be
better to include this in all kernel udeb's and use it, rather than
calling depmod in the build? Otherwise, the kernel udeb's will need to
have their System.map aswell.
